Looking for a little help with decal color selection

[George n Mary]

We do have a 5.0TA on order and would like to ask all the people here, that have been so very helpful with so many questions, if some of you might post a few pics of your Escapes to help us decide our decal color. We find that looking at the swatch selection just doesn't look the same when we see a pic of a unit. We are particularly looking at Red, Vivid Blue, Real Teal and Olympic Blue. Regardless of which Escape you have, pic's of your trailer would be greatly appreciated.

The colour you see in a pic will be different depending on the light that was falling on the trailer, the camera used and the monitor you are using to view it. These photos are in overcast, in sunlight and ??. The colour is black forest green.
You are better off viewing swatches ( real ones, not digital ).
And, dark colours last longer than light colours.

Thank you for your kind and wise insight Gabaglo however I am aware of the importance of the final selection of color being from an actual swatch. My post was asking for pics of full units, showing Escapes in the wild, so that we might see these units in natural settings. We rarely encounter Escape RV's in our travels and think such images would be helpful in envisioning what ours might look like. Through out my career in residential and light commercial architecture I found such pics to be very helpful in narrowing a clients choices before making the final selection from an actual product sample. Again thank you for your informative post.

We thought about it a lot and went with basic black. We deliberated about getting no decals, but decided that the Escape decal design is distinctive but not overpowering and provides a nice accent. When you look at the trailer so many other things are black, we didn't want a colored decal to become another focal point since the fiberglass shape of the 5.0 itself is the focal point for us. We felt like adding another color would have too many things going on, we prefer the basic black that blends in well with the other black items and, for us, adds to the simple beauty of the trailer's design.

Ours isn't in the wild quite yet, pick up is scheduled for Aug 10 in Sumas. We went with dark grey to allow for easy matching of whatever tow vehicle we happen to own. As of now it's a Race Red F150.

More. And, even more on ETI web site.

Between fading and changes in the available color it’s kind of hard to judge them. The lifespan seems to be a bigger concern than the “It goes with” angle. The rallies at Algonac, Thompson Illinois and others are good places for comparing colors. The rally at Osoyoos is the top banana. Speaking of which, the only place I’ve ever seen Tangerine. And a cat named Faye Wray. We liked the spectra red on our 19 and the black on the 21 has worked out well for us too. Here’s a nice pic of three good looking Escapes, three fine tow rigs and though they are not in the picture three good looking dutiful husbands and their guiding light wives. Grey:Hair color.

Decals have held up really well for an 11 year old trailer. Previous owner had a trailer cover.

That’s a nice looking trailer. I like the color. I’ve seen it a couple times but not real often. Stands out in a crowd.
